Vehicle control device and control method

Abstract

In order to simplify a door lock operation by a user after starting an energy supply receiving operation, an ECU mounted on a vehicle stores an ID code beforehand. Furthermore, ECU locks all the doors, if a charging paddle on the power supply device side is connected with a charging plug on the vehicle side, and if an ID code received from the power supply device matches the ID code stored beforehand, and if a drive system of the vehicle is stopped, and if all the doors of the vehicle are closed.

1. A control device of a vehicle including an energy receptacle for receiving energy supply from a supply device and at least one door opened and closed by a user, said supply device being provided with a connector connected to said energy receptacle at a time of energy supply to said vehicle, said control device comprising:
 a sensor for detecting whether or not said connector is connected with said energy receptacle; 
 a door lock device for locking said door; and 
 a control unit connected to said door lock device, wherein 
 said control unit controls said door lock device such that said door is locked when a prescribed condition is satisfied, and 
 said prescribed condition includes a condition that said sensor detects that said connector is connected with said energy receptacle. 
 
     
     
       2. The control device of the vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein said prescribed condition further includes at least any one of a condition that said door is in a closed state, a condition that a state in which said door is closed is maintained for a prescribed time, and a condition that a drive system for driving said vehicle is stopped. 
     
     
       3. The control device of the vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein
 said supply device receives unique information of said vehicle as transmitted from a terminal that is portable by said user and transmits said unique information to said control device, 
 said control device further includes a receiver connected to said control unit to receive said unique information transmitted from said supply device, and 
 said prescribed condition further includes a matching condition that said unique information received by said receiver matches unique information stored beforehand in said control unit. 
 
     
     
       4. The control device of the vehicle according to  claim 3 , wherein
 said control device further includes an opening/closing device connected to said control unit for opening and closing a cap portion covering said energy receptacle, and 
 said control unit controls said opening/closing device when said matching condition is satisfied. 
 
     
     
       5. The control device of the vehicle according to  claim 4 , wherein
 said supply device transmits a request signal to a predetermined range, and said terminal transmits said unique information to said supply device when receiving said request signal from said supply device, and 
 said predetermined range is set in a range that includes said energy receptacle and does not include a seat of said vehicle, in a state in which said vehicle is present at a location where energy supply from said supply device to said vehicle is available. 
 
     
     
       6. The control device of the vehicle according to  claim 3 , wherein
 said control device further includes a connector lock device connected to said control unit for locking connection between said connector and said energy receptacle, and 
 said control unit controls said connector lock device when said matching condition is satisfied. 
 
     
     
       7. The control device of the vehicle according to  claim 6 , wherein
 said supply device transmits a request signal to a predetermined range, and said terminal transmits said unique information to said supply device when receiving said request signal from said supply device, and 
 said predetermined range is set in a range that includes said energy receptacle and does not include a seat of said vehicle, in a state in which said vehicle is present at a location where energy supply from said supply device to said vehicle is available. 
 
     
     
       8. The control device of the vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein
 said vehicle receives unique information of said vehicle as transmitted from a terminal that is portable by said user, by a receiver provided in a vicinity of said energy receptacle, and 
 said prescribed condition further includes a matching condition that said unique information received by said receiver provided in a vicinity of said energy receptacle matches unique information stored beforehand in said control unit. 
 
     
     
       9. The control device of the vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein
 said connector is provided with an input portion for said user to input a lock request indicating that locking of said door is requested, and 
 said prescribed condition further includes a condition that said lock request is input. 
 
     
     
       10. A control method performed by a control unit controlling a vehicle including an energy receptacle receiving energy supply from a supply device and at least one door opened and closed by a user, said supply device being provided with a connector connected to said energy receptacle at a time of energy supply to said vehicle, wherein said control unit is connected with a door lock device for locking said door and a sensor for detecting whether or not said connector is connected with said energy receptacle, said control method comprising the steps of:
 determining whether or not said sensor detects that said connector is connected with said energy receptacle; and 
 controlling said door lock device such that said door is locked when a prescribed condition including a condition that said sensor detects that said connector is connected with said energy receptacle is satisfied.
